Starting is an impossible thing we all have to do. If I had motivational posters around my room they would not say anything about "Hanging in there," or "Keep trucking," they would say "Get out there," or "Start that engine." If you look at my slapdash approach to projects it may not seem like I'm afraid to give something new a try but I wanted to write this journal, the one you're reading now, for years before I actually committed it to the internet. It wasn't that I was afraid I would fail, it was because I was afraid I wouldn't continue after I started. The scariest thing was that people might actually read this journal and expect me to update it regularly. That fear is fed by the idea that failing to update would lead to disappointing people. For over three years this journal was solely written by hand. Once I proved to myself that I could update regularly I decided to put it on the internet and add my personal opinions at the top. I'm glad I started this but it's still scary when people read it and when they don't.

Enough background.

The audio
segments with Joe Robertson were rerecorded in an effort to make the show more succinct. The session was recorded on the iPad the same as last time but
at a higher level by adjusting the controls on the microphone hardware.A second microphone was also used.This is a shotgun microphone suspended in a
homemade shock mount.The microphone is
interfaced to the computer through a USB ↔ XLR adapter recently purchased.

Microphone with homemade shock mount, computer, and iPad

No name has
been decided upon however Joe suggested it may fare well as two separate shows.

Coffee ‘pods’ from hotel rooms make mediocre coffee. They aren’t necessarily poor quality ingredients but they need to be a format which people can’t use at home, otherwise, they’d be stolen regularly. The brewing machines are usually all plastic and have minimal electronics. K-cups are the at-home equivalent but those machines can be full-featured.
To make quality coffee in a hotel, soak the coffee pod in a glass of cool water overnight. Tap water works fine as long as the tap water is decent, to begin with. Bottled water is pictured for clarity and because the little bottles were so cute.

All the air in the coffee pod but be evacuated by squeezing it underwater or the trapped air will not allow the coffee to brew fully. It takes hours to work since no heat is involved so this is basically cold brewing. The resulting coffee will be low-acid and not bitter. Brewing it longer will not harm anything so start it as soon as you think of it and drink it when…

More and more uses for the OpenVectorKB have been found and programmed. It seemed like a neat idea for help while programming in OpenSCAD. Then, it seemed logical to program it to act like a mouse. While it I was at it, why not arrow keys (the most all-around helpful). Recently, I wanted to add compatibility to VLC.

VLC media player has a few ways to skip around in the video timeline. It’s possible to click on the timeline with the pointer and it will jump to that point. Pressing Ctrl+T in the Windows edition allows numeric entry for the desired time.

The commands of interest for the OpenVectorKB were the arrow keys combined with modifier keys.
Ctrl+→ or Ctrl+← will move the video forward or back one minute.
Alt+→ or Alt+← will move the video forward or back ten seconds.
Shift+→ or Shift+← will move the video forward or back three seconds.
These commands were mapped to the encoders of the keyboard so that the timeline can be easily navigated by twisting knobs. Each knob changes a diff…
